Going Great Guns
I was happy to see that my post from yesterday had such a good response. It does make you think! Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’M ALL FOR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE… my Dad worked for oil companies for most of his career life. I know a few things about the oil business… but independence to me…
Tough Call
The Wyoming wind opened up the gates this evening… just a bit… which reminded me I was going to show this state’s latest export. “Wyoming Wind” by the Bar J Wranglers (which would HAVE to be the background song for this entry) gives special attention to this phenomenon. If you’ve ever driven across southern Wyoming on…
Not Quite Making It
Today was the kind of day that summers should be made of… 72, sunny, and NO WIND! Absolutely perfect! I finished planting my garden… hoping that the frost of the 14th would be the last one until fall! I mowed my lawn and started on the lawn at the Mills place until I ran out…
One Down
Our first branding of the year was… …staffed with good workers… /div> …complete with entertainment… …educational for the next generation… … a matter of good timing… …full of good food and drink… …successful! One down… one to go!
Tomorrow is Another Day
Well, finished, (I hope) getting ready for branding in the morning… Then we gathered the pasture. I took video… but I’m not sure if I’ll upload it or not… I think if you have a tendency towards sea-sickness, you won’t enjoy it! I tried to just video as I rode along, taking you with me…
I’m Cooking… in More Ways than One!
My mother was a great cook. My sister is a fantastic cook. Me. Not so much. I do it because it is part of the job description for ranchwife… like filing cards in the card file when I was a librarian… or paperwork when I was an archaeologist… there’s always part of the job that…
Wordless Wednesday – “Lingering Snows”
Lingering snow dusts the southern Big Horn Mountains and red chugwaters near Big Trails, Wyoming.
Enough For Her
She loved him… his irreverence… his humor… the sly glances he gave her at work when he thought no one else was looking. He had that “bad boy” charm about him… it swirled and spiraled and pulled her down into a whirlpool. She couldn’t keep her head above the water. Insane thoughts of gulping down…
Two Down
I don’t understand exactly how we got from here… to here… in such a short time! Amazing. The graduation ceremony was interesting… For some reason, I thought the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at UW would graduate a fairly large number of students. Compared to the other colleges… uh, nope… Not so much. Those…
Questions and Answers – May Edition
My apologies for not posting last night. I don’t know how Vernon managed to stay awake long enough to get us home, but, thankfully, he did. We arrived about 12:45 am… after leaving home at 5 am that morning… and there was NOT going to be a post, I’m lucky I was awake long enough…
Indian Room and Q & A
I keep returning to the Mills place to paint and clean and arrange. Finally today the end is in sight for my “Indian” room. Although I’m a proud member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, my Indian collection is pretty much a reflection of the high plains area of Wyoming. I had made a list…
